Concrete  Highways 


INTRODUCTION 

The  purpose  of  a  road  is  to  provide  the  shortest  and  easiest  possible 
means  of  passage  between  different  points. 

The  earliest  roads  of  history  were  the  great  highways 
History  of  for  war  and  commerce  extending  into  districts  not  readily 
Highways  accessible  by  water.  Most  of  these,  however,  were 
merely  footpaths,  until  the  Carthaginians  began  and  the 
Romans  developed  the  science  of  road  building.  The  best  of  these 
Roman  roads  were  three  feet  thick,  laid  in  four  courses.  A  foundation 
of  large  flat  stones  laid  in  lime  mortar  was  covered  with  a  well-compacted 
concrete  of  lime  and  broken  stones  in  the  proportion  of  about  one  to 
three.  On  top  of  this  was  placed  another  layer  of  concrete,  which  was 
not  tamped  and  which  was  a  mixture  of  old  building  materials  and  hot 
lime.  The  wearing  course  consisted  of  irregularly  shaped  flat  stones, 
about  six  inches  thick,  carefully  fitted  and  laid  in  lime  mortar.  This 
form  of  construction  was  undoubtedly  not  the  first  method  used,  but 
was  the  result  of  much  experience.  Even  these  early  road  builders  ap- 
preciated the  value  of  placing  in  the  road  a  material  providing  a  positive 
mechanical  bonding  strength  between  the  stones. 

With  the  fall  of  the  Roman  Empire  came  a  decline  in  road  construc- 
tion and  for  several  centuries  no  further  attempt  was  made  to  improve 
highways.  The  revival  of  paving  came  in  the  building  of  streets  in  the 
larger  cities.  This  was  followed  by  the  improvement  of  the  through 
routes  between  the  centers  of  population. 

It  was  not  until  the  latter  part  of  the  i8th  century  and  the  early 
part  of  the  1 9th,  that  a  truly  scientific  attempt  was  made  at  road  build- 
ing. The  methods  employed  during  that  period  are  in  use  to-day,  in 
slightly  modified  form,  in  our  country  and  village  roads. 

The  decided  change  in  the  mode  of  transportation 
Effects  of      on  our  highways  during  the  last  few  years  has  necessitated 
Changes  in     new  methods  of  construction.     The  lasting  quality  of  a 
Traffic         macadam  road  depends  greatly  upon  the  natural  cement- 
ing value  of  the  stone  composing  it.     Until  the  advent  of 
the  automobile,  the  binding  material  of  the  surface  was  disturbed  by  the 
horses'  shoes  and  blown  away  by  the  wind ;  more  binder  was  then  chipped 
off  the  stone,  compressed  by  the  steel-tired  vehicles  and  reformed  by  ab- 
sorbing moisture  from  the  atmosphere.     The  automobile  prevents  this

remaking  of  the  binder.  The  action  of  the  rear  driving-wheels  displaces 
not  only  the  surface  binder  but  the  road  materials  as  well,  scattering 
them  beyond  recovery.  (Fig.  i.)  When  this  occurs  rain  penetrates  the 
road  and  softens  the  base  and  foundation.  The  road  in  turn  settles,  break- 
ing the  bond  and  thus  permitting  the  loosened  stones  to  be  displaced. 

In  order  to  prevent  these  defects  a  permanent  binder, 
Permanent    such  as  cement,  must  be  incorporated  with  the  other  road 
Binder        materials.   The  most  exact  and  economical  method  of  corn- 
Required      bining  Portland  cement  with  the  materials  at  present  used  in 
road  construction  is  to  mix  it  with  them,  forming  concrete. 

GOOD    HIGHWAYS— HOW   TO    BUILD    THEM 
The  first   and   most   important  essential   for  a  successful  pavement  is 
a   firm   and   unyielding  sub-base.     Since  all   the  loads 
Firm  Sub-base  brought  upon  the  surface  are  transferred   to  the  base, 
that  base  must  be  in  a  condition  to  sustain  these  loads; 
that  is,  it  must  be  dry  and  thoroughly  compacted,  and  it  must  not 
contain  any  vegetable,  perishable  or  yielding  matter.

A  proper  and  lasting  sub-base  can  be  secured  only 
Good          by  keeping  out  moisture.     Drainage  must  be  established 
Drainage      so  as  to  facilitate  the  flow  of  water  away  from  the  sub- 
soil and  even  from  the  side  ditches  as  quickly  as  possible. 
The  sub-base  must  be  dry,  fairly  hard  and  unyielding,  or  no  material 
placed  upon  it  will  prove  satisfactory  in  giving  low  cost  of  maintenance 
and  long  life.     (Fig.  2.) 

Upon  such  a  well  prepared  sub-base  is  laid  a  "foun- 
Dependable    dation  for  the  wearing  surface."     Experience  has  demon- 
Foundation     strated  the  fact  that  concrete  makes  the  best  foundation. 
The  concrete  must  be  properly  proportioned,  well  mixed, 
and  laid  smooth  to  conform  to  the  grade  of  the  finished  pavement.     Con- 
crete properly  proportioned  and  mixed  is  impervious  to  water — a  most 
essential  feature  for  a  "wearing  surface  foundation."     Water  cannot 
penetrate  to  the  carefully  prepared  sub-base  and  destroy  it,  rendering  it 
unfit  to  sustain  traffic.     Concrete  will  not  only  sustain  the  pressure  im- 
posed upon  it  by  traffic,  but  will  distribute  the  same  over  a  considerable 
area,  thus  much  reducing  the  load  to  be  carried  by  the  sub-soil.     This

characteristic  of  concrete  makes  possible  the  laying  of  a  pavement  upon 
many  sub-soils,  the  cost  of  the  preparation  of  which  would  be  prohibitive 
were  concrete  not  used.  A  concrete  foundation  when  once  laid  will  give 
an  asset  which  can  be  counted  on  for  all  time,  while  a  broken  stone  foun- 
dation is  necessarily  of  a  more  or  less  temporary  nature,  owing  to  its  dis- 
placement under  travel  and  its  disappearance  into  the  soil  which  supports 
it.  The  success  of  those  city  streets  which  have  stood  so  many  years 
with  little  cost  of  maintenance  under  heavy  traffic  conditions  can  be 
traced  directly  to  well-built  concrete  foundations. 

In  city  and  town  streets  it  is  frequently  necessary  to  lay  or  make  re- 
pairs to  pipes.     This  can  easily  be  accomplished  on  a  concrete  street  and 
the  concrete  can  be  replaced  leaving  the  surface  in  perfect  condition. 
The    traffic    upon    highways    is    increasing    yearly. 
Lasting  Wear-    Each  year  highways  are  subjected  to  constantly  increas- 
ing Surface       ing   loads.     The   public   demands   rapid   transportation 
and  quick  delivery  of  its  goods;   consequently  the  nature 
of  traffic  is  rapidly  changing  from  horse-drawn  to  motor-driven  vehicles. 


[8 


Moreover,  the  public  demands  that  all  unimproved  highways  be  surfaced 
and  that  these  surfaces  be  kept  in  good  condition.  If  roads  are  built  in 
accordance  with  the  ordinary  methods  of  country  road  construction, 
under  the  new  conditions  of  traffic,  their  life  is  short  and  their  cost  of 
maintenance  is  high. 

With  a  little  more  care  in  construction,  the  concrete  foundation, 
which  is  essential  to  every  wearing  surface,  can  be  allowed  to  take  the 
wear  itself,  thus  giving  a  permanent  pavement  of  low  cost.  (Fig.  3.) 

This  use  of  concrete  as  a  wearing  surface,  as  well  as  a  foundation, 
makes  possible  permanent  highways,  where  otherwise  the  cost  would  be 
beyond  the  financial  resources  of  many  communities. 


UTILITY  OF  CONCRETE  AS  A  HIGHWAY  MATERIAL 

Concrete  possesses  all  the  essentials  and  fulfills  all  the  requirements  of 
a  good  pavement.     The  cement  holds  the  aggregate  in 
Permanence    position  so  firmly  that  the  action  of  the  most  rapidly 
moving  vehicles  will  not  disturb  it.     Wear  under  iron- 
bound  traffic  is  scarcely  perceptible.     Therefore  the  length  of  service  ob-

FIG.  5. — CONCRETE  AUTOMOBILE  TRACK,  MOLINE,  ILL. 

tained,  and  the  lack  of  maintenance  charges,  as  well  as  the  cheapness  in 
first  cost,  permit  the  taxes  to  be  used  for  the  construction  of  new  roads 
rather  than  upon  the  maintenance  of  those  already  built. 

A  very  light  transverse  grade  is  required  to  make 

Comfort        the  road  self-cleaning  and  to  carry  the  surface  water  to 

the  side  gutter  or  ditch.     In  roads  requiring  a  higher 

crown  for  drainage,  travel  takes  the  center  of  the  road,  so  that  all  the 

wheels  may  be  at  about  the  same  height.     On  concrete  roads,  due  to  their 

flat  slopes,  traffic  is  not  forced  to  the  middle  of  the  pavement,  but  can 

comfortably  keep  to  the  side  and  thus  avoid  danger  in  passing  other 

vehicles.     (Fig.  4.) 

Upon  the  smoothness  of  the  road  depend  the  cost  and  comfort  of 
travel,  and  the  price  of  a  marketable  product  to  the  consumer.  Concrete 
can  be  made  as  smooth  as  is  desired  to  allow  the  proper  foothold  for  horses, 
thus  giving  the  least  resistance  to  traction  with  the  consequent  quick  and 
cheap  delivery  of  goods  and  the  pleasure  of  the  traveler. 

There  is  no  material  in  road  construction  which  can  be  made  to  con- 
form so  easily  and  harmoniously  with  the  general  color  scheme  of  the 
surroundings  as  can  concrete.  By  mixing  mineral  pigment  with  the  con- 
crete any  color  of  roadway  desired  can  be  obtained.  (Fig.  5.)

The  bulk  of  the  materials  from  which  good  concrete 

Use  of         is  made  can  be  found  in  nearly  every  locality.     Where  the 

Local          sand,  gravel  and  stone  are  to  be  had  from  local  pits  and 

Materials      quarries,  the  normally  low  cost  of  concrete  roads  can  be 

still  further  reduced  by  the  use  of  these  local  materials, 

with  a  consequent  saving  of  freight  charges. 

Most  of  the  labor  for  the  preparation  of  the  materials  and  for  the 
mixing  and  placing  of  the  concrete  can  be  secured  in  the  locality  in  which 
the  road  is  to  be  built.  By  the  utilization  of  home  products  and  home 
labor  the  money  expended  on  the  concrete  road  remains  in  the  community 
paying  for  it. 

Bond  issues  are  required  in  many  cities  and  town- 
Value          ships  to  obtain  the  necessary  funds  for  pavement  and 
road  construction.     Unless  concrete  is  used  in  the  work, 
the  pavements  are  entirely  worn  out  long  before  the  bonds  mature.     The 
result  is  that  the  public  must  either  increase  their  bonded  indebtedness 
or  suffer  the  inconvenience  of  using  bad  highways.     This  inconvenience 
will  reduce  the  earning  capacity  of  the  community  and  the  value  of  the 
adjacent  property. 

[ill 


The  real  cost  of  an  improvement  is  measured  by  the 
Cost  service  which  it  yields  in  proportion  to  the  money  in- 

vested in  it.  The  chief  elements  in  real  cost  are  first  cost 
and  maintenance  expense.  (Fig.  6.)  The  first  cost  of  a  road  is  dependent 
largely  upon  the  cost  of  the  materials  entering  into  its  construction.  When 
proper  materials  are  to  be  had  locally,  the  first  cost  of  a  concrete  pavement 
is  slightly  in  excess  of  the  initial  cost  of  a  first-class  water-bound  macadam 
road.  Where  the  materials  must  be  brought  from  a  distance,  a  concrete 
road  can  generally  be  built  at  less  expense  than  any  other  type,  due  to 
the  smaller  amount  of  materials  needed  for  a  road  of  concrete. 

As  has  been  explained,  under  combined  traffic  the  macadam  roads 
fail  rapidly.  This  necessitates  extensive  and  continuous  repairs.  The 
average  amount  expended  per  mile  per  year  for  maintenance  and  repairs 
during  the  last  five  years  in  the  states  of  Connecticut,  Massachusetts, 
New  Jersey,  New  York  and  Rhode  Island  was  $649.  During  1912  it 
amounted  to  $814. 

The  cost  of  surface  repairs  and  refilling  of  joints  during  1913  of  the 
51  miles  of  concrete  roads  built  previous  to  that  time  in  Wayne  County, 
Michigan,  was  $28.43  per  mile  including  over-head  charges. 

Certainly  no  community  can  afford  to  invest  its  taxes  in  any  class  of 
roads  known  to  deteriorate  rapidly,  requiring  a  large  yearly  expenditure 
for  maintenance,  since  concrete  as  a  road  material  is  little  higher  in  first 
cost  and  is  practically  without  cost  of  maintenance. 


VARIOUS  TYPES  OF  CONCRETE  PAVEMENTS 

The  first  concrete  roads  in  this  country  were  built  over  twenty  years 
ago.  Naturally  the  method  of  construction  of  these  roads  followed 
the  ordinary  lines  of  sidewalk  building.  Subsequent  development  has 
produced  the  following  types  of  Concrete  Highways : 

(a)  One-Course  Pavement. — That  in  which  the  full  depth  of  the  pavement 
is  built  in  one  layer  and  of  the  same  mixture  throughout.     (See 

Specifications,  page  57.) 

(b)  Two-Course  Pavement. — Consists  of  a  base  of  a  rather  lean  mixture 

and  a  wearing  surface  of   a  rich   mixture.     (See  Specifications, 
page  62.) 

(c)  One   and    Two -Course  Pavement   Reinforced.      (See   Specifications, 

pages  57  and  62.) 

(d)  Grouted  Pavement. — Broken  stone  pavement,  grouted  with  Portland 

Cement  Mortar.     (See  page  48.) 


FIG.  7. — MICHIGAN  AVE.,  WAYNE  Co.,  MICH. 


ONE-COURSE  PAVEMENT 


Michigan  Avenue,  Wayne  County,  Michigan 
Built  191  1 


Thickness  7  inches;   width  1  6  to  20  feet;  length  7^  miles. 

Joints  placed  every  25  feet  and  filled  with  one  layer  of  three-ply  tar  paper; 

edges  protected  by  Baker  armored  plates. 
Crown  y^o"  the  width  of  pavement. 

Built  by  the  Board  of  County  Road  Commissioners,  Detroit,  Mich. 
Commissioners:    John  S.  Haggerty,  Chairman,  William  Murdoch,  Ed- 

ward N.  Hines. 
Engineers:   George  A.  Dingman,  George  A.  Burley,  George  F.  Key. 

The  concrete  was  proportioned  I  part  Portland  cement  ;  I  J/£  parts 
sand  (graded  from  \±  inch  down,  with  the  dust  out)  and  3  parts  gravel 
(graded  from  }4  to  iJ4  inches). 

The  concrete  was  mixed  with  a  batch  mixer,  which  moved  under  its 
own  power.  A  boom  attached  to  the  mixer  carries  a  bucket  into  which 
the  concrete  is  dumped  direct  from  the  mixer.  This  boom  swings  in  a 

[13] 


FIG.  8. — GRAND  RIVER  ROAD,  WAYNE  Co.,  MICH. 

semi-circle,  and  is  long  enough  to  allow  the  concrete  to  be  deposited  direct 
from  the  bucket  in  place  on  the  road. 

To  confine  the  concrete  within  the  proper  limits  and  to  provide  forms 
along  the  side  of  the  road,  a  2  x  8-inch  plank  was  firmly  staked  to  line  and 
grade.  The  upper  edge  of  each  plank  was  protected  by  an  angle  iron. 
A  strike-off  templet,  made  from  a  2  x  8-inch  plank,  cut  to  the  proper 
crown,  and  with  its  lower  edge  steel  bound,  was  moved  along  the  top  of 
the  side  forms.  This  was  followed  by  a  heavy  2  x  8-inch  plank  box 
templet-tamper,  also  traveling  on  the  top  of  the  forms.  Two  finishers 
with  wooden  floats  worked  from  a  bridge  supported  on  the  side  forms. 
It  will  be  noted  that  these  side  pieces  act  not  only  as  forms,  but  also 
provide  a  track  upon  which  rest  all  the  necessary  tools  to  shape  and  finish 
the  concrete.  By  the  use  of  these  tools  and  the  bridge,  all  labor  was 
absolutely  kept  off  the  road  during  the  placing  and  finishing  of  the  concrete. 

Before  the  concrete  hardened  the  forms  were  removed  and  the  edges 
beveled  by  breaking  them  down  with  a  shovel.  This  was  done  in  order 
to  remove  abrupt  edges  and  to  better  join  the  road  with  the  shoulders.

FIG.  9. — METHOD  OF  CONSTRUCTION  ON  GRAND 

MICH.     BUILT  1911. 

Thickness  7  inches;  width  16  feet;  length  2^2  miles.  Construction  similar  to  Michigan 
Avenue,  at  a  cost  of  $1.35  per  sq.  yard,  with  mixer,  conveying  bucket,  templet 
tamper,  bridge  for  finishers,  and  joint  protecting  plates  held  together  by  clamps 
which  are  later  removed. 


After  the  concrete  was  sufficiently  hard  to  bear  the  weight  of  a  man, 
the  surface  was  covered  with  about  2  inches  of  sand  or  earth  and  sprinkled 
with  water  several  times  daily  for  one  week.  All  travel  was  kept  off  for 
two  weeks. 

On  each  side  of  the  concrete  a  gravel  shoulder  was  built  varying  in 
width  from  2  to  4  feet,  and  8  inches  deep.  Trolley  tracks  are  along  one 
side  of  the  road.  Between  these  tracks  and  the  road  a  longitudinal  con- 
crete tile  drain  was  laid.  On  the  other  side  an  open  ditch  was  dug. 

The  cost  of  the  concrete  in  place  was  about  $1.47  per  square  yard.

TWO-COURSE  PAVEMENT 


Adams  Avenue,  Mason  City,  Iowa 

Built  1910 
Thickness:  base  5  inches,  wearing  course  2  inches;  width  30  feet;  length 

4000  feet. 
Joints:   J^  inch  wide  every  25  feet  across  the  street,  and  I  inch  wide  con- 

tinuous along  curbs. 
F.  P.  Wilson,  City  Engineer. 
Geo.  Gabfer,  Contractor. 

Upon  the  sub-soil  cleaned  of  all  deleterious  matter,  well  rolled  and 
wetted  and  shaped  to  the  same  curvature  as  the  finished  surface,  a  5-inch 
concrete  base  was  placed.  The  proportions  in  this  mixture  were  I  part 
by  measure  of  Portland  cement,  2  parts  by  measure  of  clean,  sharp  sand, 
and  5  parts  by  measure  of  limestone  (graded  from  J/2  to  iV£  inches). 
The  cement  and  sand  were  thoroughly  mixed  to  a  mortar  in  a  batch  mixer. 
The  proper  amount  of  stone,  which  had  been  previously  drenched  with 
water,  was  added.  The  batch  was  then  mixed  until  all  the  stones  were 
thoroughly  coated  with  mortar. 

The  concrete  was  placed  upon  the  road  and  tamped  until  mortar 
came  to  the  top.  The  surface  was  made  smooth  and  parallel  with  the 
finished  pavement. 

Within  twenty  minutes  after  laying  the  base,  a  wearing  coat  2  inches 
thick  was  added.  This  was  mixed  in  a  batch  mixer  and  consisted  of  I 
part  by  measure  of  Portland  cement  to  2  parts  by  measure  of  clean  coarse 
sand.  The  finishing  was  done  with  a  wooden  float  and  the  surface  was 
roughened  by  the  use  of  a  stiff  vegetable  brush. 

An  expansion  joint  I  inch  wide  and  filled  to  the  top  with  asphalt 
applied  at  a  temperature  of  about  400°  F.  was  made  next  to  the  curb  on 
each  side  of  the  street.  A  similar  joint  was  made  ^  inch  wide  every  25 
feet  across  the  street.  (Latest  specifications  place  expansion  joints  every 


^ 

The  distance  between  the  transverse  expansion  joints  was  divided 
by  cuts  into  sections  of  12^/2  feet.  These  cuts  or  contraction  joints  were 
made  by  using  a  steel  plate  ^  inch  thick  and  7  inches  wide,  cut  to  the  de- 
sired shape  of  the  street.  Steel  forms  were  also  used  for  making  the  ex- 
pansion joints.  All  forms  for  making  joints  were  removed  before  the 
concrete  had  hardened. 

The  edges  of  the  contraction  joints  were  rounded  to  a  radius  of  }4

inch.  In  accordance  with  the  new  specifications  the  edges  of  the  ex- 
pansion joints  are  protected  by  soft  steel  plates  similar  to  those  used  on 
Grand  River  Road  in  Wayne  County,  Michigan.  (See  page  15.)  No 
filler  is  placed  in  the  contraction  joints. 

Each  day  for  one  week  after  completion  the  surface  was  sprinkled 
with  water.  The  street  was  closed  to  traffic  for  two  weeks. 

The  cost  of  this  work  was  $1.25  per  square  yard. 

On  some  of  the  streets  in  Mason  City,  where  concrete  paving  was 
laid,  the  subsoil  was  soft  and  swampy.  In  such  cases  a  narrow  ditch  was 
dug  1 8  inches  inside  of  each  curb  and  18  inches  deep  below  the  sub-grade. 
In  each  ditch  a  4-inch  drain  tile  was  laid,  and  connected  with  the  sewer. 
The  dirt  taken  from  the  trench  was  not  replaced,  but  the  space  was  filled 
with  good,  clean,  hard-burned  cinders,  thoroughly  rammed,  thus  insur- 
ing drainage. 

In  Adams  Street  longitudinal  cuts  were  made,  10  feet  apart,  entirely 
through  both  surface  and  base.  The  surface  is  corrugated  transversely 
every  5  inches.  In  the  1912  specifications  this  practice  has  been 
abandoned.

each  flood.  To  make  the  road  passable  at  all  times  of  the  year  and 
to  ensure  a  wearing  surface  which  would  not  wash  away,  this  road- 
way was  built  of  concrete. 

Cost:  $1.05  per  square  yard.

digest  of  which  is  given  below. 

THE  BLOME  COMPANY  GRANOCRETE  CONCRETE  PAVEMENT 

PATENTED,  TRADE-MARK  REGISTERED 

DIGEST  OF  GENERAL  SPECIFICATIONS 

PREPARATION  OF  SUB-GRADE 

The  sub-grade  shall  be  prepared  in  such  a  way  as  to  provide  a  solid 
foundation,  and  shall  conform  to  the  lines  and  grades  established  by  the 
engineer. 

MATERIALS 

The  Portland  cement  shall  conform  to  the  standard  specifications  of 
the  American  Society  for  Testing  Materials.  All  cement  shall  be  care- 
fully protected  from  the  weather  until  used. 

The  sand  shall  be  free  from  clay,  loam,  vegetable  matter,  and  dust. 
The  grains  shall  vary  in  size  from  one-eighth  inch  down  to  the  finest  and 
be  so  graded  that  the  voids,  as  determined  by  saturation,  shall  not  exceed 
33  per  cent,  of  the  volume. 

The  coarse  aggregate  shall  be  of  good  quality  of  limestone,  trap  rock, 
or  other  hard  stone,  or  of  gravel  graded  in  size  from  2^/2  inches  down,  and 
in  the  event  of  stone  being  used,  the  same  shall  not  measure  under  J4  inch 
in  diameter. 

When  delivered  on  the  street,  these  materials  shall  be  placed  in  such 
a  manner  as  to  be  kept  clean  until  used. 

MANNER  OF  CONSTRUCTION  OF  GRANOCRETE 

Base:  The  thickness  of  the  pavement  shall  be  determined  by  the 
engineer. 

Upon  the  properly  prepared  sub-grade  shall  be  deposited  concrete 
composed  of  I  part  of  Portland  cement  and  8  parts  of  an  aggregate  con- 
sisting of  approximately  50  per  cent,  of  broken  stone  or  gravel  with 
particles  below  J/2  inch  eliminated,  15  per  cent,  of  J4  inch  stone  or  gravel, 
with  the  dust  removed  and  35  per  cent,  of  clean  torpedo  sand. 

This  selection  of  the  several  sizes  of  aggregates  is  made  in  order  to 
produce  a  mass  which  will  have  sufficient  voids  to  receive  enough  of  the 
material  constituting  the  top  wearing  surface  to  secure  a  firm  union 
between  the  two.

REINFORCED  CONCRETE  PAVEMENTS 

Doty  Street,  Fond  du  Lac,  Wisconsin 

Built  1910 
Thickness  of  base  5  inches,  wearing  surface  i^  inches;   width  30  feet; 

length  4000  feet. 
Joints  placed  every  50  feet  across  the  street  and  along  gutters.     These 

were  made  %  inch  wide,  and  filled  with  asphalt.     A  3-inch  crown  was 

given  to  the  pavement. 
J.  S.  McCullough,  City  Engineer. 
J.  Rassmussen  &  Sons  Company,  Contractors. 

The  proportions  of  the  concrete  in  the  base  were  I  part  Portland 
cement,  2^/2  parts  sand,  and  5  parts  clean  crushed  limestone. 

Only  the  middle  18  feet  of  the  3O-foot  pavement  was  reinforced. 
Four  inches  of  the  concrete  base  was  laid,  and  into  it  was  immediately 
tamped  the  reinforcing.  The  reinforcement  consisted  of  No.  7  triangular 
woven  wire  mesh,  made  by  the  American  Steel  &  Wire  Company,  and  was 
placed  with  the  large  wires  across  the  pavement.  The  remaining  inch 
of  the  base  was  then  added. 

The  concrete  for  the  base  was  mixed  in  a  continuous  mixer. 

Within  twenty  minutes  of  the  completion  of  the  base  was  applied 
the  wearing  course  of  a  mixture  of  I  part  Portland  cement,  I  part  clean 
sharp  sand,  and  I  part  granite  screenings,  varying  in  size  from  TV  to  J4 
inch.  First  was  spread  a  layer  Yi  incn  thick.  This  was  thoroughly 
rammed  to  insure  proper  bond.  A  second  layer  I  inch  thick  wras  imme- 
diately added  and  thoroughly  troweled  and  was  made  to  conform  to  the 
established  grade  and  cross-section  of  the  street  by  the  use  of  Roughen's 
Adjustable  Street  Gauge.  Before  the  concrete  had  hardened  the  surface 
was  roughened  by  drawing  lightly  across  it  an  ordinary  street  broom. 
The  mortar  for  the  wearing  surface  was  mixed  in  a  batch  mixer. 

Along  each  curb  and  every  50  feet  across  the  street,  a  ^-inch  expan- 
sion joint  was  made  by  the  use  of  a  board  or  metal  form.  The  joints  ex- 
tended the  full  depth  of  the  pavement,  and  care  was  exercised  to  insure  a 
uniform  width  from  top  to  bottom.  After  the  concrete  had  hardened 
the  forms  were  taken  out,  all  dirt  removed,  and  the  joints  filled  with  an 
asphalt  preparation. 

If  rain  came  immediately  after  laying  the  pavement,  the  surface  was 
covered  with  canvas.  Otherwise  no  protecting  cover  was  used.  The 
surface  was  kept  wet  for  one  week  after  completion  and  the  traffic  was 
barred  for  two  weeks.

JOINT  PROTECTION  PLATES 

The  edges  of  transverse  joints  must  be  protected.  For  this  purpose 
soft  steel  plates  are  used.  Very  satisfactory  results  have  been  obtained 
with  the  Baker  Armored  Protecting  Plates  and  the  Truss-Con  Armor 
Plates.  These  plates  are  2%  inches  in  depth  and  about  %  inch  thick. 
From  the  center  of  the  plates,  at  intervals  of  from  8.  inches  to  10  inches, 
tongues  are  cut  ?/£  inch  wide  and  6  inches  long.  These  are  bent  back 
upon  the  plate  to  a  right  angle  with  it.  Before  the  concrete  is  placed  the 
plates  are  set  in  position  by  means  of  an  installation  device,  which  holds 
them  firmly  to  line  and  grade.  The  protruding  tongues  provide  rigid 
anchorage  to  the  concrete.

GROUTED  PAVEMENTS— HASSAM  TYPE 

Blue  Avenue,  Independence,  Missouri 
Built  1910  under  Hassam  Patents 

Thickness  6  inches;  width  30  feet;   length  J/£  mile. 

Joints:   %  inch  wide,  filled  with  asphalt,  continuous  along  curbs. 

H.  H.  Pendleton,  City  Engineer. 

Rackliffe-Gibson  Construction  Co.,  St.  Joseph,  Mo.,  Contractors. 

METHOD  OF  CONSTRUCTING  HASSAM  PAVEMENTS 
The  Hassam  pavement  consists  of  a  properly  compacted  sub-grade 
upon  which  is  placed  a  layer  of  broken  stone  thoroughly  rolled  to  a  thick- 
ness of  6  inches  and  made  to  conform  to  the  grade  and  contour  of  the 
street.  After  this  stone  has  been  firmly  compacted  by  rolling  and  the 
voids  reduced  to  a  minimum,  it  is  grouted  with  a  Portland  cement  grout, 
made  of  I  part  cement  and  2  parts  sand.  This  grout  is  poured  upon  the 
stone  until  all  the  voids  are  filled  and  the  grout  flushes  to  the  surface. 
The  rolling  is  continuous  throughout  the  process  of  grouting.  Upon  this 
surface  is  placed  a  very  thin  layer  of  pea  stone,  which  is  spread  over  the 
entire  area  of  the  roadway,  grouted  and  rolled,  the  rolling  continued  until 
the  grout  flushes  to  the  surface.  Expansion  joints  are  left  along  the  curbs. 
For  four  days  after  completion  the  street  is  kept  wet  and  all  traffic 
barred  for  ten  days. 

Spencer  Road,  Spencer,  Massachusetts 
Built  1906  under  Hassam  Patents 

Thickness  6  inches;  width    16   feet;   length    I    mile.     Crown   3   inches; 

no  joints. 
Cost:  $1.75  per  square  yard. 

This  road  was  built  similar  to  Blue  Ave.,  Independence,  Missouri, 
and  after  three  years'  service  it  was  covered  with  Hassamite,  a  bituminous 
compound,  spread  in  two  layers,  l/±  gallon  per  square  yard  per  applica- 
tion. After  the  first  coat  is  applied,  at  a  temperature  between  200°  F. 
and  300°  F.,  it  is  drifted  with  screened  pea  stone  and  lightly  rolled;  the 
second  course  is  drifted  with  coarse  sharp  sand,  thoroughly  rolled,  suffi- 
cient sand  being  added  to  absorb  any  surplus  composition. 

The  only  repair  made  has  been  a  patch  requiring  the  use  of  only 
J/2  gallon  of  Hassamite.

CONCLUSION 

The  many  concrete  roads  and  streets  successfully  built,  a  few  of  which 
have  been  described,  establish  beyond  doubt  the  adaptability  of  this 
material  to  all  conditions  and  requirements.  Such  successful  examples, 
together  with  the  low  cost  of  construction  and  maintenance,  prove  con- 
crete to  be  the  most  desirable  of  all  road  materials. 

The  best  results  in  any  road  construction  can  only  be  obtained  by 
the  exercise  of  the  greatest  care  in  the  selection  of  the  materials  and  in  the 
actual  work  of  building.  Concrete  roads  are  no  exception  to  this  rule. 
Too  many  think  that  poor  aggregates  and  bad  workmanship  may  be  over- 
come by  the  use  of  Portland  cement.  Such  a  practice  is  unfair  to  this 
material,  wonderful  as  it  is,  and  the  results  obtained  are  neither  what  the 
taxpayers  have  a  right  to  expect,  nor  what  those  in  direct  charge  of  the 
work  desire. 

Careful  attention  to  every  detail  will  produce  a  concrete  road,  last- 
ing for  many,  many  years. 

Bad  materials  and  careless  workmanship  will  produce  failures. 

The  aggregates  used  should  be  the  best  the  locality  affords.  If  proper 
local  sand  and  stone  cannot  be  found,  buy  them  elsewhere.  It  is  false 
economy  to  put  such  poor  materials  in  a  road  as  to  predestine  it  to 
failure. 

If  the  stone  is  soft -and  not  of  a  uniform  quality,  or  the  sand  poor  and 
its  grains  coated  with  dirt,  weak  places  are  embodied  in  the  construction, 
which  give  an  opportunity  for  the  starting  of  a  crack  or  the  formation  of 
a  pit-hole.  The  same  trouble  will  occur  if  retempered  mortar  is  added 
or  frozen  aggregates  are  used. 

The  use  of  proper  material  in  the  sub-base,  and  careful  compacting 
of  the  same,  is  often  neglected.  A  concrete  road  widely  distributes  the 
load  brought  upon  it,  and  while  pockets  in  the  sub-base  may  be  bridged 
by  the  use  of  concrete,  they  may  become  of  such  size  as  to  cause  failure. 
Therefore,  the  sub-base  must  be  prepared  in  such  a  way  as  to  avoid  the 
formation  of  pockets. 

Many  soils  will  not  permit  of  quick  flow  of  water  through  them  unless 
artificial  drainage  is  provided.  After  every  rain  the  ground  water  is 
raised,  and  if  this  is  not  carried  away  rapidly  to  the  proper  channels,  it 
will  freeze  and  heave  the  surface,  forming  unsightly  cracks. 

The  drainage  problems  must  be  solved  by  those  having  direct  charge 
of  the  work  and  in  such  a  way  as  to  fit  local  conditions.  To  provide 
adequate  drainage,  consideration  must  be  given  not  only  to  the  water 
falling  on  the  roadway,  but  also  to  the  overflow  from  adjoining  property. 
Side  ditches  should  have  sufficient  fall  to  carry  the  water  quickly  to

the  adjacent  streams  and  not  allow  it  to  stand  in  pools  along  the  sides 
of  the  road. 

One  of  the  fundamental  requirements  of  road  construction  is  the 
exclusion  of  water  from  the  road  itself.  Concrete  can  be  made  impervious 
to  water  by  using  the  proper  proportions  of  cement,  sand,  and  stone. 
This  gives  not  only  a  dense  mixture,  but  also  one  of  great  strength. 

The  necessity  of  measuring  with  comparative  exactness  the  stone 
or  gravel  and  sand  is  therefore  apparent.  The  most  practical  method  is 
that  of  the  bottomless  box  or  of  equally  accurate  devices.  Measuring 
material  by  wheel-barrow  loads  or  shovelfuls  should  never  be  permitted 
under  any  circumstances. 

Care  should  be  exercised  in  the  amount  of  water  used.  If  after 
placing  a  batch  it  is  found  that  water  flushes  to  the  surface  without  tamp- 
ing, too  much  is  being  used.  On  the  other  hand,  if  heavy  and  continuous 
tamping  is  required  to  bring  mortar  to  the  surface,  too  little  water  is  being 
used.  A  few  experimental  batches,  mixed  with  varying  quantities  of 
water,  will  determine  the  proper  amount.  Then  be  sure  that  the  proper 
quantity  is  used  by  having  the  water  measured  for  every  batch.  The 
methods,  too  often  employed,  of  dashing  a  promiscuous  number  of  bucket- 
fuls  over  the  mass,  or  of  adding  water  with  a  hose  connected  to  the  water 
main,  are  a  little  easier,  but  are  sure  to  result  in  concrete  lacking  in  uni- 
form density  and  strength. 

See  that  the  sub-base  is  wet  before  placing  the  concrete.  The 
amount  of  water  needed  varies  with  the  character  of  the  soil.  Unless  the 
sub-base  is  wet,  it  may  absorb  enough  water  from  the  concrete  to  prevent 
its  setting  properly. 

If,  for  any  cause  whatever,  even  at  noontime,  it  is  necessary  to  stop 
work,  place  a  joint  across  the  road,  and  complete  the  work  to  this  joint. 
When  this  is  not  done,  an  irregular  line  of  weakness  is  formed  where 
batches  join,  and  cracks  are  likely  to  develop. 

Forms  along  the  sides  of  the  road  are  desirable  not  only  to  confine 
the  concrete  and  to  fix  lines  and  grades,  but  are  the  most  available  tracks 
to  support  bridges  from  which  the  finishers  may  work.  With  this  weight 
on  them,  it  is  necessary  to  make  them  substantial  and  to  stake  them 
securely.  Curbs  along  the  sides  of  a  street  serve  the  same  purpose.  By 
using  a  templet,  cut  to  the  proper  curve  of  the  crown  and  resting  on  the 
side  forms,  a  wavy  roadway,  so  objectionable  to  the  automobilist,  is 
avoided. 

All  laborers  must  be  kept  off  the  concrete  after  it  is  once  in  place. 
Although  footprints  can  be  worked  out,  dirt  from  shoes  is  likely  to  spoil

the  proper  bond  between  the  materials.  By  the  use  of  a  bridge  all  need 
of  tracking  on  the  concrete  is  avoided. 

Expansion  joints  along  the  edges  of  the.  pavement  prevent  the  dis- 
placement of  the  curb.  Straight  cuts  across  the  street  perpendicular 
to  the  center  line,  or  at  an  angle  of  60°,  and  located -at  proper  intervals, 
prevent  unsightly  contraction  cracks.  These  joints  will  not  wear  down 
if  the  edges  are  protected. 

Concrete,  in  hardening,  has  a  tendency  to  shrink,  and  such  shrinkage 
is  increased  if  the  water  is  allowed  to  be  drawn  from  the  concrete  before 
it  has  thoroughly  hardened.  Owing  to  the  uncertainty  of  the  sub-base,

if  prepared  in  freezing  weather,  as  well  as  the  difficulty  of  properly 
handling  the  materials  going  to  make  up  the  concrete,  most  roads,  where 
the  winter  months  are  cold,  are  laid  between  May  I  and  November  i. 
During  these  hot  dry  months  the  sun  will  absorb  water  from  the  concrete 
if  allowed  to  shine  directly  upon  it.  The  surface  must  be  protected.  If 
the  sun  is  particularly  strong  and  the  temperature  high,  canvas  should  be 
spread  over  the  roadway  for  the  first  ten  hours.  Then  dirt  shoveled  on 
the  pavement,  and  kept  thoroughly  wet  for  seven  days,  affords  an  almost 
perfect  protection.  Do  not  use  manure.

It  is  always  difficult  to  exclude  impatient  traffic  from  a  road;  yet 
when  one  considers  the  many  years  of  service  given  by  a  concrete  road 
properly  laid,  the  three  or  four  weeks'  time  necessary  to  perfect  it  seems 
insignificant. 

Concrete  is  probably  the  most  adaptable  material  of  construction 
ever  known.  Being  a  combination  of  composite  parts,  proper  ingredients 
are  everywhere  available.  Its  ability  to  take  any  form  desired  fits  it 
admirably  to  every  local  condition.  By  wood  floating,  slipperiness  can 
be  absolutely  avoided,  and  by  surface  grooving,  foothold  for  horses  is 
given  on  the  steepest  grade.  Resistance  to  traction  is  extremely  low, 
owing  to  the  monolithic  character  of  a  concrete  pavement. 

A  concrete  road  is  suited  to  every  class  of  traffic.  The  objection 
often  raised  that  it  is  hard  on  horses'  feet  has  not  been  borne  out  by 
experience  wherever  these  roads  have  been  constructed.  Farmers 
after  using  the  road  have  noticed  no  ill  effect  on  their  horses'  feet  or 
shoulders,  and  are  anxious  for  more  concrete  roads  to  be  built.  A 
horse  stepping  on  an  even  surface  is  harmed  less  than  by  stepping  on 
the  loose  stones  pulled  from  a  macadam  road  by  the  automobile.  The 
low  tractive  resistance  also  allows  the  horse  to  pull  a  load  with,  greater 
ease. 

This  discussion  may  lead  some  to  feel  that  a  successful  concrete  road 
is  quite  difficult  to  build.  Such,  however,  is  not  the  case.  The  details 
discussed  are  all  little  things,  essential  to  success,  it  is  true,  but  of  a  nature 
easily  cared  for  if  given  the  proper  amount  of  thought.  They  do  not 
increase  the  cost  of  the  work,  but  they  do  increase  the  life  of  the  road.

PROPOSED  STANDARD  SPECIFICATIONS  FOR  ONE-COURSE 
CONCRETE  HIGHWAY* 


GRADING 

Defined. — The  term  "grading"  shall  include  all  cuts,  fills,  ditches,  borrow  pits, 
approaches  and  all  earth  moving  for  whatever  purpose,  where  such  work  is  an  essential 
part  of  or  necessary  to  the  prosecution  of  the  contract.  When  to  bring  the  surface  to 
grade,  a  fill  of  one  (i)  foot  or  less  is  required,  the  area  shall  be  thoroughly  grubbed.  All 
soft,  spongy  or  yielding  spots  and  all  vegetable  or  other  objectionable  matter  shall  be 
removed  and  the  space  refilled  with  suitable  material. 

Engineer's  Stakes. — Stakes  will  be  set  by  the  engineer  for  center  line,  side  of  slopes, 
finished  grade  and  other  necessary  points  properly  marked  for  the  cut  or  fill. 

Excess  Material. — Excess  material  shall  be  disposed  of  as  directed  by  the  engineer, 
the  free  haul  not  to  exceed feet. 

Over-haul. — Materials  hauled  a  greater  distance  than  the  free  haul  from  the  place  of 

excavation  shall  be  paid  for  at  the  rate  of cents  per  cubic  yard  for  each 

additional .  .  .  .  feet.

FIG.  51. — ONE-COURSE  CONCRETE  HIGHWAY.    SECTIONS  ON  FILL  AND  CUT. 


Fills. — Embankments  shall  be  formed  of  earth  or  other  approved  materials  and  shall 
be  constructed  in  successive  layers,  the  first  of  which  shall  extend  entirely  across  from  the 
toe  of  the  slope  on  one  side  to  the  toe  of  the  slope  on  the  other  side,  and  successive  layers 
shall  extend  entirely  across  the  embankments  from  slope  to  slope.  Each  layer,  which 
shall  not  exceed  one  (i)  foot  in  depth,  shall  be  thoroughly  rolled  with  a  roller  weighing 

*  Presented  to  the  American  Concrete  Institute,  Tenth  Annual  Convention,  Febru- 
ary 16-20,  1914,  Chicago,  111. 

[57] 


not  less  than  five  (5)  tons  nor  more  than  ten  (10)  tons  before  the  succeeding  layer  is 
placed.  The  roller  shall  pass  over  the  entire  area  of  the  fill  at  least  twice. 

The  sides  of  the  embankment  shall  be  kept  lower  than  the  center  during  all  stages 
of  the  work,  and  the  surface  maintained  in  condition  for  adequate  drainage.  The  use  of 
muck,  quicksand,  soft  clay  or  spongy  material  which  will  not  consolidate  under  the  roller 
is  prohibited. 

When  the  material  excavated  from  cuts  is  not  sufficient  to  make  the  fills  shown  on 
the  plans,  the  contractor  shall  furnish  the  necessary  extra  material  to  bring  the  fills  to 
the  proper  width  and  grade.  When  the  earth  work  is  completed  the  cross-section  of  the 
road  shall  conform  to  the  cross-sectional  drawings  and  profile  shown  in  Fig.  51. 

Slopes. — All  slopes  must  be  properly  dressed  to  lines  given  by  the  engineer. 

Finished  Grade. — When  grade  line  is  approached,  the  final  grade  stakes  will  be  set, 
for  which  sufficient  notice  must  be  given  to  the  engineer. 

Note: — In  excavating  cuts  it  is  considered  advisable,  when  the  line  of  the  sub-grade 
is  approached,  to  compact  the  remaining  material  by  rolling.  The  depth  of  material 
left  in  the  cut  to  be  compressed  to  the  finished  grade  by  rolling  will  depend  upon  the 
character  of  the  material. 

DRAINAGE 

Drainage. — The  contractor  shall  construct  such  drainage  ditches  as  will  insure  per- 
fect sub  and  surface  drainage  during  construction  and  such  work  shall  be  completed  to 
the  satisfaction  of  the  engineer,  prior  to  the  preparation  of  the  roadbed,  as  herein  speci- 
fied. 

Tile  drains  shall  be  placed  as  shown  in  the  drawings  attached  hereto.  Tile  to  be 

laid  in  the  trench  at  least ( )  inches  wide  and 

( )  feet  deep  below  the  established  grade  of  the  finished  pavement,  such  trench 

shall  be  back  filled  with  crushed  stone  or  pit-run  gravel,  with  sand  removed,  which  after 
light  tamping  shall  be ( )  inches  in  depth. 

Open  ditches  must  be  constructed  along  the  concrete  road  as  shown  in  Fig.  51,  the 
dimensions,  side  slopes  and  grade  of  said  ditches  being  as  shown  on  the  cross-section 
and  profile. 

At  the  time  of  the  acceptance  of  the  road,  the  ditches  must  be  in  perfect  condition, 
with  clean  slopes  and  bottom,  containing  no  obstructions  to  the  flow  of  water. 

SUB-GRADE 

Construction. — The  bottom  of  the  excavation  or  top  of  the  fill,  when  completed,  shall 
be  known  as  the  sub-grade,  and  shall  be  at  all  places  true  to  the  elevation  as  shown  on  the 
plans  attached  hereto. 

The  roadway  shall  be  graded  to  the  proper  sub-grade  to  permit  of  the  specified 
thickness  of  paving  materials  being  laid  to  bring  the  finished  surface  of  the  pavement  to 
the  lines  and  grades  as  shown  on  the  plans. 

The  sub-grade  shall  be  brought  to  a  firm,  unyielding  surface  by  rolling  the  entire 
area  with  a  self-propelled  roller  weighing  not  less  than  ten  (10)  tons,  and  all  portions  of 
the  surface  of  the  sub-grade  which  are  inaccessible  to  the  roller  shall  be  thoroughly 
tamped  with  a  hand  tamp  weighing  not  less  than  fifty  (50)  pounds,  the  face  of  which 
shall  not  exceed  100  square  inches  in  area.  All  soft,  spongy,  or  yielding  spots  and  all 
vegetable  or  other  objectionable  matter  shall  be  entirely  removed  and  the  space  refilled 
with  suitable  material. 

Where  considered  necessary  or  of  assistance  in  producing  a  compact,  solid  surface, 
the  sub-grade  before  being  rolled  shall  be  well  sprinkled  with  water. 

When  the  concrete  pavement  is  to  be  constructed  over  an  old  roadbed  composed  of 
gravel  or  macadam,  and  the  concrete  is  to  be  wider  than  the  old  gravel  or  macadam  road, 
the  latter  shall  be  entirely  loosened  and  the  material  spread  for  the  full  width  of  the 
roadbed  and  rolled.  All  interstices  shall  be  filled  with  fine  material,  and  rolled  to  make  a 
dense,  tight  surface  of  the  roadbed. 

Acceptance. — No  concrete  shall  be  deposited  upon  the  sub-grade  until  it  is  checked 
and  accepted  by  the  engineer. 

Completion. — Upon  the  sub-grade  thus  formed  shall  be  laid  the  concrete  pavement 
as  shown  in  Fig.  51. 


MATERIALS 

Cement. — The  cement  shall  meet  the  requirements  of  the  Standard  Specifications 
for  Portland  Cement,  adopted  by  the  American  Society  for  Testing  Materials,  August 
16,  1909,  with  all  subsequent  amendments  and  additions  thereto  adopted  by  said  Society. 

When  the  cement  is  not  inspected  at  the  place  of  manufacture  it  shall  be  stored  a 
sufficient  length  of  time,  to  permit  of  inspecting  and  testing.  The  engineer  shall  be  noti- 
fied of  the  receipt  of  each  shipment  of  cement. 

Fine  Aggregate. — Fine  aggregate  shall  consist  of  sand  or  screenings  from  clean,  hard, 
durable  crushed  rock  or  gravel  consisting  of  quartzite  grains  or  other  equally  hard  ma- 
terial graded  from  fine  to  coarse,  with  the  coarse  particles  predominating  and  passing, 
when  dry,  a  screen  having  one-quarter  (J^)  inch  openings.  It  shall  be  clean,  hard,  free 
from  dust,  loam,  vegetable,  or  other  deleterious  matter.  Not  more  than  twenty  (20) 
per  cent,  shall  pass  a  sieve  having  fifty  (50)  meshes  per  linear  inch,  and  not  more  than 
five  (5)  per  cent,  shall  pass  a  sieve  having  one  hundred  (100)  meshes  per  linear  inch. 

Fine  aggregate  containing  more  than  three  (3)  per  cent,  of  clay  or  loam  shall  be 
washed  before  using. 

Fine  aggregate  shall  be  of  such  quality  that  the  mortar  composed  of  one  part  Port- 
land cement  and  three  (3)  parts  fine  aggregate  by  weight,  when  made  into  briquettes, 
shall  show  a  tensile  strength  at  least  equal  to  the  strength  of  I  to  3  mortar  of  the  same 
consistency  made  with  the  same  cement  and  Standard  Ottawa  sand. 

In  no  case  shall  fine  aggregate  containing  frost  or  lumps  of  frozen  material  be  used. 

Coarse  Aggregate. — Coarse  aggregate  shall  consist  of  clean,  hard,  durable  crushed 
rock  or  gravel,  graded  in  size,  free  from  dust,  loam,  vegetable  or  other  deleterious  matter, 
and  shall  contain  no  soft,  flat  or  elongated  particles.  The  size  of  the  coarse  aggregate 
shall  be  such  as  to  pass  a  one  and  one-half  (i  ^)  inch  round  opening  and  be  retained  on  a 
screen  having  one-quarter  (%)  inch  openings. 

In  no  case  shall  coarse  aggregate  containing  frost  or  lumps  of  frozen  material  be 
used. 

Natural  Mixed  Aggregate. — Natural  mixed  aggregate  shall  not  be  used  as  it  comes 
from  deposits,  but  shall  be  screened  and  used  as  specified. 

Water. — Water  shall  be  clean,  free  from  oil,  acid,  alkali,  or  vegetable  matter. 

Reinforcement. — Concrete  pavements  twenty  (20)  feet  or  more  in  width  shall  be 
reinforced  with  metal  fabric.  All  reinforcement  shall  be  free  from  excessive  rust,  scale, 
paint,  or  coatings  of  any  character  which  will  tend  to  destroy  the  bond.  All  reinforce- 
ment shall  develop  an  ultimate  tensile  strength  of  not  less  than  70,000  pounds  per  square 
inch  and  bend  180  deg.  around  one  diameter  and  straighten  without  fracture. 

FORMS 

Materials. — The  forms  shall  be  free  from  warp,  of  sufficient  strength  to  resist  spring- 
ing out  of  shape,  and  shall  be  equal  in  width  to  the  thickness  of  the  pavement  at  the  edges. 
Wooden  forms  shall  be  of  not  less  than  two  (2)  inch  stock,  and  shall  be  capped  with  two 
(2)  inch  angle  iron. 

Setting. — The  forms  shall  be  well  staked  or  otherwise  held  to  the  established  line 
and  grades,  and  the  upper  edges  shall  conform  to  the  established  grade  of  the  road. 

Treatment. — All  mortar  and  dirt  shall  be  removed  from  the  forms  that  have  previ- 
ously been  used. 

PAVEMENT  SECTION 

Width,  Thickness  of  Concrete  and  Crown. — The  concrete  pavement  shall  be 

feet  wide,    ( )   inches  in  depth  at  center,  and 

( )  inches  in  depth  at  the  sides.     The  finished  surface 

shall  conform  to  the  arc  of  a  circle,  as  shown  on  Fig.  51. 

Note: — Crown  shall  be  not  more  than  one  one-hundredth  (TOTT)  of  the  width. 
The  thickness  of  the  concrete  at  the  edges  shall  not  be  less  than  six  (6)  inches. 

JOINTS 

Width  and  Location. — Transverse  joints  shall  be  not  less  than  one-quarter  (J^)  inch 
nor  more  than  three-eighths  (^i)  inch  in  width  and  shall  be  placed  across  the  pavement 
perpendicular  to  the  center  line,  not  more  than  35  feet  apart.  When  a  curb  is  specified 
or  where  pavement  abuts  a  building  a  joint  not  less  than  one-quarter  (Y±)  inch  wide 

[59] 


shall  be  placed  between  it  and  the  pavement.  All  joints  shall  extend  through  the  entire 
thickness  of  the  pavement  and  shall  be  perpendicular  to  its  surface. 

Protection  of  Joints. — The  concrete  at  transverse  joints  shall  be  protected  with  soft 
steel  joint  protection  plates  which  shall  be  not  less  than  two  and  one-half  (2^)  inches  in 
depth  and  not  less  than  one-eighth  (3/g)  or  more  than  one-quarter  (J^)  inch  average  thick- 
ness. The  plates  shall  be  of  such  form  as  to  provide  for  rigid  anchorage  to  the  concrete. 
The  type  and  method  of  installation  of  joint  protection  plates  shall  be  approved  by  the 
engineer.  The  surface  edges  of  the  metal  plates  shall  conform  to  the  finished  surface 
of  the  concrete,  as  shown  in  Fig.  51. 

All  joint  protection  plates  over  one-quarter  (^)  inch  high  or  one-half  (^)  inch  low 
shall  be  removed. 

Joint  Filler. — All  joints  shall  be  formed  by  inserting  during  construction  and  leaving 
in  place  the  required  thickness  of  prepared  felt  or  similar  material  of  approved  quality, 
having  a  thickness  of  not  less  than  one-eighth  (l/&}  inch  nor  more  than  one-quarter  (J4) 
inch,  which  shall  extend  through  the  entire  thickness  of  the  pavement. 

MEASURING  MATERIALS  AND  MIXING  CONCRETE 
Measuring. — The  method  of  measuring  the  materials  for   the  concrete,  including 
water,  shall  be  one  which  will  insure  separate  and  uniform  proportions  of  each  of  the 
materials  at  all    times.     A  sack  of  Portland  cement  (94  Ibs.  net)  shall  be  considered 
one  (l)  cubic  foot. 

Mixing. — The  materials  shall  be  mixed  to  the  desired  consistency  in  a  batch  mixer 
of  approved  type,  and  mixing  shall  continue  for  at  least  forty-five  (45)  seconds  after  all 
materials  are  in  the  drum.  The  drum  shall  be  completely  emptied  before  mixing  suc- 
cessive batches.  The  drum  of  the  mixer  used  shall  revolve  at  a  speed  not  less  than  the 
minimum  nor  more  than  the  maximum  number  of  revolutions  shown  in  the  following 
table:

Retempering. — Retempering  of  mortar  or  concrete  which  has  partially  hardened, 
that  is,  mixing  with  additional  materials  or  water,  shall  not  be  permitted. 

Proportions. — The  concrete  shall  be  mixed  in  the  proportions  of  one  (i)  sack  of 
Portland  cement  to  not  more  than  two  (2)  cubic  feet  of  fine  aggregate  and  not  more  than 
three  (3)  cubic  feet  of  coarse  aggregate,  and  in  no  case  shall  the  volume  of  the  fine  aggre- 
gate be  less  than  one-half  (}/£)  the  volume  of  the  coarse  aggregate. 

A  cubic  yard  of  concrete  in  place  between  neat  lines  shall  contain  not  less  than  one 
and  seven-tenths  (1.7)  barrels  of  cement. 

The  engineer  shall  compare  the  calculated  amount  of  cement  required  according  to 
these  specifications  and  plans  attached  hereto  with  the  amounts  actually  used  in  each 
section  of  concrete  between  successive  transverse  joints,  as  determined  by  actual  count 
of  the  number  of  sacks  of  cement  used  in  each  section.  If  the  amount  of  cement  used 
in  any  three  adjacent  sections  (between  transverse  joints)  is  less  by  two  (2)  per  cent,  or 
if  the  amount  of  cement  used  in  any  one  section  is  less  by  five  (5)  per  cent,  than  the 
amount  hereinbefore  specified,  the  contractor  agrees  to  remove  all  such  sections  and  to 
rebuild  the  same  according  to  these  specifications  at  his  expense. 

Consistency. — The  materials  shall  be  mixed  with  sufficient  water  to  produce  a  con- 
crete which  when  deposited  will  settle  to  a  flattened  mass,  but  shall  not  be  so  wet  as  to 
cause  a  separation  of  the  mortar  from  the  coarse  aggregate  in  handling. 

REINFORCING 

Reinforcing. — Concrete  pavements  twenty  (20)  feet  or  more  in  width  shall  be  rein- 
forced. The  cross-sectional  area  of  the  reinforcing  metal  running  parallel  to  the  center 
line  of  the  pavement  shall  amount  to  at  least  0.038  square  inch  per  foot  of  pavement 

[60] 


width  and  the  cross-sectional  area  of  reinforcing  metal,  which  is  perpendicular  to  the 
center  line  of  the  pavement,  shall  amount  to  at  least  0.049  square  inch  per  foot  of  pave- 
ment length. 

Reinforcing  metal  shall  be  placed  not  less  than  two  (2)  inches  from  the  finished  sur- 
face of  the  pavement  and  otherwise  shall  be  placed  as  shown  on  the  drawings.  The  rein- 
forcing metal  shall  extend  to  within  two  (2)  inches  of  all  joints,  but  shall  not  cross  them. 
Adjacent  widths  of  fabric  shall  be  lapped  not  less  than  four  (4)  inches. 

PLACING  CONCRETE 

Placing. — Immediately  prior  to  placing  the  concrete,  the  sub-grade  shall  be  brought 
to  an  even  surface.  The  surface  of  the  sub-grade  shall  be  thoroughly  wet  when  the  con- 
crete is  placed. 

After  mixing,  the  concrete  shall  be  deposited  rapidly  in  successive  batches  upon  the 
sub-grade  prepared  as  hereinbefore  specified.  The  concrete  shall  be  deposited  to  the  re- 
quired depth  and  for  the  entire  width  of  the  pavement,  in  a  continuous  operation,  be- 
tween transverse  joints  without  the  use  of  intermediate  forms  or  bulkheads. 

In  case  of  a  breakdown  concrete  shall  be  mixed  by  hand  to  complete  the  section  or 
an  intermediate  transverse  joint  placed  as  hereinbefore  specified  at  the  point  of  stopping 


A/ote-'W  denotes    widf/i    of  pavement

FIG.  52.  —  ONE-COURSE  CONCRETE  PAVEMENT. 


work.     Any  concrete  in  excess  of  that  needed  to  complete  a  section  at  the  stopping  of 
work  shall  not  be  used  in  the  work. 

Finishing. — The  surface  of  the  concrete  shall  be  struck  off  by  means  of  a  templet 
or  strike  board  which  shall  be  moved  with  a  combined  longitudinal  and  cross-wise  mo- 
tion. When  the  strike  board  is  within  three  (3)  feet  of  a  transverse  joint  it  shall  be 
lifted  to  the  joint  and  the  pavement  struck  by  moving  the  strike  board  away  from  the 
joint;  any  excess  concrete  shall  be  removed.  Concrete  adjoining  the  metal  protection 
plates  at  transverse  joints  shall  be  dense  in  character,  and  any  holes  left  by  removing 
any  device  used  in  installing  the  metal  protection  plates  shall  be  immediately  filled  with 
concrete. 

After  being  brought  to  the  established  grade  with  the  templet  or  strike  board,  the 
concrete  shall  be  finished  from  a  suitable  bridge,  no  part  of  which  shall  come  in  contact 
with  the  concrete.  The  concrete  shall  be  finished  with  a  wood  float  in  a  manner  to 
thoroughly  compact  it  and  produce  a  surface  free  from  depressions  or  inequalities  of  any 
kind.  The  finished  surface  of  the  pavement  shall  not  vary  more  than  one-quarter  (Y±) 
inch  from  the  true  shape. 

[61] 


The  edges  of  the  pavement  shall  be  rounded  as  shown  on  the  cross-sectional  drawings 
in  Fig.  51. 

PROTECTION 

Curing  and  Protection. — Excepting  as  hereinafter  specified,  the  surface  of  the  pave- 
ment shall  be  sprayed  with  water  as  soon  as  the  concrete  is  sufficiently  hardened  to  pre- 
vent pitting,  and  shall  be  kept  wet  until  an  earth  covering  is  placed.  As  soon  as  it  can 
be  done  without  damaging  the  concrete,  the  surface  of  the  pavement  shall  be  covered 
with  not  less  than  two  inches  of  earth  or  other  material  which  will  afford  equally  good 
protection,  which  cover  shall  be  kept  moist  for  at  least  ten  (10)  days.  When  deemed 
necessary  or  advisable  by  the  engineer,  freshly  laid  concrete  shall  be  protected  by  a  can- 
vas covering  until  the  earth  covering  can  be  placed. 

If  at  the  time  the  pavement  is  laid  or  during  the  period  of  curing  the  temperature 
during  the  daytime  drops  below  50  degrees  Fahrenheit,  sprinkling  and  covering  of  the 
pavement  may  be  omitted  at  the  direction  of  the  engineer. 

Under  the  most  favorable  conditions  for  hardening,  in  hot  weather,  the  pavement 
shall  be  closed  to  traffic  for  at  least  fourteen  (14)  days,  and  in  cool  weather  for  an  addi- 
tional time,  to  be  determined  by  the  engineer. 

The  contractor  shall  erect  and  maintain  suitable  barriers  to  protect  the  concrete 
from  traffic,  and  any  part  of  the  pavement  damaged  from  traffic  or  other  causes  occurring 
prior  to  its  official  acceptance,  shall  be  repaired  or  replaced  by  the  contractor  at  his  ex- 
pense in  a  manner  satisfactory  to  the  engineer. 

Before  the  pavement  is  thrown  open  to  traffic  the  covering  shall  be  removed  and 
disposed  of  as  directed  by  the  engineer. 

Temperature  Below  35  Degrees  Fahrenheit. — Concrete  shall  not  be  mixed  or  deposited 
when  the  temperature  is  below  freezing. 

If  at  any  time  during  the  progress  of  the  work  the  temperature  is,  or  in  the  opinion 
of  the  engineer  will,  within  twenty-four  (24)  hours  drop  to  35  degrees  Fahrenheit,  the 
water  and  aggregates  shall  be  heated  and  precautions  taken  to  protect  the  work  from 
freezing  for  at  least  ten  (10)  days.  In  no  case  shall  concrete  be  deposited  upon  a  frozen 
sub-grade. 

SHOULDERS 

Construction. — Where  shoulders  are  required,  they  shall  be  built  upon  the  properly 
prepared  subgrade,  as  shown  in  Fig.  51.  All  materials  shall  meet  with  the  approval  of 
the  engineer  and  the  work  shall  be  done  to  his  entire  satisfaction.

ROADS  AND  CITY  STREETS 

DRAINAGE    . 

Catch  Basins. — All  catch  basins  and  manhole  tops  and  all  covers  of  openings  of  any 
kind  shall  be  readjusted  to  the  grade  by  the  contractor  at  his  expense. 

MATERIALS 

Aggregate  for  Wearing  Course. — The  aggregate  for  the  wearing  course  shall  consist 
of  a  mixture  of  two  (2)  parts  of  the  materials  specified  under  "Fine  Aggregate,"  and  three 
(3)  parts  of  clean,  hard,  durable,  crushed  rock  or  gravel,  free  from  dust,  soft  particles, 
loam,  vegetable  or  other  deleterious  matter,  and  passing  when  dry  a  screen  having  one- 
half  (J/£)  inch  openings  and  be  retained  on  a  screen  having  one-quarter  (Y^)  inch  openings. 

In  no  case  shall  aggregate  for  wearing  course  containing  frost  or  lumps  of  frozen 
material  be  used. 

PAVEMENT  SECTION 

Width,  Thickness  of  Concrete  and  Crown. — The  concrete  pavement  shall  be 

( )  feet  wide  from  face  to  face  of  curb.     The  base  of  the  concrete 

[62] 


pavement  shall  be ( )  inches  in  depth  at  the  center  and 

( )  inches  in  depth  at  the  sides.     The  wearing  course  shall  be  of 

( )  inches  uniform  thickness.     The  finished  surface  shall  conform  to  the 

arc  of  a  circle  as  shown  in  Fig.  53. 

Note:  The  minimum  thickness  of  the  concrete  base  shall  be  not  less  than  five  (5) 
inches  and  the  minimum  thickness  of  the  wearing  course  shall  be  not  less  than  two  (2) 
inches.  When  pavements  twenty  (20)  feet  or  less  in  width  are  to  be  built  on  approxi- 
mately level  ground  and  a  flat  sub-grade  is  to  be  used,  sufficient  fall  for  drainage  at  the 
sides  of  the  pavement  along  the  curb  shall  be  provided  by  giving  the  roadbed  the  same 
grade  as  that  proposed  for  the  gutter.  The  crown  of  all  pavements  shall  be  not  more 
than  one  one-hundredth  (T^)  of  the  width  except,  when  deemed  advisable  by  the  en- 
gineer, the  crown  of  a  pavement  built  on  a  crowned  sub-grade  may  be  increased  to  one- 
fiftieth  G^)  of  the  width  to  provide  sufficient  fall  for  drainage  along  the  sides  of  the  pave- 
ment at  the  curb. 

M i:\Sl  RING  MATERIALS  AND  MIXING  AND  PLACING  CONCRETE 

Cement  Required. — A  cubic  yard  of  concrete  base  in  place  shall  contain  at  least  1.4 
barrels  of  cement  and  a  cubic  yard  of  wearing  course  in  place  shall  contain  at  least  2.97 
barrels  of  cement. 


FIG.  53. — TWO-COURSE  CONCRETE  PAVEMENT  FOR  PAVEMENT  OVER  20  FEET  WIDE. 


CONCRETE  FOR  BASE 

Proportions. — The  concrete  shall  be  mixed  in  the  proportions  of  one  (i)  sack  of  Port- 
land cement  to  not  more  than  two  and  a  half  (2^)  cubic  feet  of  fine  aggregate,  and  not 
more  than  four  (4)  cubic  feet  of  coarse  aggregate,  and  in  no  case  shall  the  volume  of  the 
fine  aggregate  be  less  than  one-half  (^)  the  volume  of  the  coarse  aggregate. 

The  concrete  shall  be  brought  to  a  comparatively  even  surface,  the  thickness  of  the 
wearing  course  below  the  finished  grade  of  the  pavement.  Workmen  shall  not  be  al- 
lowed to  walk  on  the  freshly  laid  concrete,  and  if  sand  or  dust  collects  on  the  base,  it 
shall  be  removed  before  the  wearing  course  is  applied.  The  reinforcing  metal  shall  be 
placed  upon  and  slightly  pressed  into  the  concrete  base  immediately  after  it  is  placed. 


CONCRETE  FOR  WEARING  COURSE 

Proportions. — The  mortar  for  the  wearing  course  shall  be  mixed  in  the  manner  here- 
inbefore specified  in  the  proportion  of  one  (i)  sack  of  Portland  cement  and  not  more  than 
two  (2)  cubic  feet  of  "Aggregate  for  Wearing  Course"  hereinbefore  specified. 

Placing. — The  wearing  course  shall  be  placed  immediately  after  mixing  and  in  no 

[63] 


case  shall  more  than  forty-five  (45)  minutes  elapse  between  the  time  that  the  concrete 
for  the  base  has  been  mixed  and  the  time  the  wearing  course  is  placed. 

Finishing. — The  wearing  course  shall  be  struck  off  by  means  of  a  templet  or  strike 
board,  which  shall  be  moved  longitudinally  or  crosswise  of  the  pavement.  Concrete 
adjoining  the  metal  protection  plates  at  transverse  joints  shall  be  dense  in  character  and 
any  holes  left  by  removing  any  device  used  in  installing  the  metal  protection  plates  shall 
be  immediately  filled  with  a  mortar  composed  of  one  (i)  part  Portland  cement  to  not 
more  than  two  (2)  parts  of  fine  aggregate. 

After  being  brought  to  an  established  grade  with  the  templet  or  strike  board,  the 
concrete  shall  be  finished  from  a  suitable  bridge,  no  part  of  which  shall  come  in  contact 
wiih  the  concrete.  The  concrete  shall  be  finished  with  a  wood  float  in  a  manner  to 


FIG.  54. — JANESVILLE  ROAD,  MILWAUKEE  Co.,  Wis. 
Method  of  constructing  one-course  concrete  pavement. 


thoroughly  compact  it,  and  produce  a  surface  free  from  depressions  or  inequalities  of  any 
kind.  The  finished  surface  of  the  pavement  shall  not  vary  more  than  one-quarter  (}/£) 
inch  from  the  true  shape. 

REINFORCING 

Reinforcing  metal  shall  be  placed  between  base  and  wearing  course  and  shall  be  not 
less  than  two  (2)  inches  from  the  finished  surface  of  the  pavement  and  otherwise  shall  be 
placed  as  shown  on  the  drawings.  The  reinforcing  metal  shall  extend  to  within  two  (2) 
inches  of  all  joints,  but  shall  not  cross  them.  Adjacent  widths  of  fabrics  shall  be  lapped 
not  less  than  four  (4)  inches.
